Personal Injury Chiropractic Care

From freshly mopped floors to urban fender benders, day-to-day life offers seemingly endless possibilities when it comes to hurting yourself. Chiropractic treatments for personal injuries can help you to get back in the full swing of things after one of these physical setbacks. For those wishing to avoid unnecessary drugs or surgeries, chiropractic adjustments can often offer a non-invasive and pharmaceutical-free approach to relieving your pain and getting you back to true functionality and a full range of motion.

Common Personal Injuries

Auto Accident Injuries

The sudden and violent jerking motions of an auto accident can leave the body suffering many short- and long-term painful effects. The extreme neck strain known as whiplash, which we may treat with the Graston Technique®, is a particularly famous example. In addition, a plethora of joint, muscle, and back injuries can be sustained during impact.

Common Auto Injuries Include:

• Whiplash
• Joint injuries
• Injuries to the mid and lower back
• Numerous sprains, strains, and fractures

Sports Injuries

Depending on the sport in question, possibilities can range from minor strains to fractured bones. In the more concussive sports, back injuries and neck injuries are common – just look at how many times they come up in reporting on pro football. This is another area in which the Graston Technique® may figure in our treatment plans.

Common Sports Injuries Include:

• Dislocations
• Sprains and strains
• Back injuries
• Neck injuries

Workplace Injuries

A wide array of injuries can be sustained in the workplace, some obvious and others not. A restaurant worker might slip and fall, while an office worker may be unaware of the damage carpal tunnel syndrome is doing to their hands, and that doesn’t take into account accidents in industrial settings. The majority of workplace injuries encountered are either repetitive motion injuries or injuries incurred from falls and improper lifting techniques. They can strike everyone from the desk-bound administrator to warehouse loading staff and beyond.

Common Workplace Injuries Include:

• Hand and wrist pain
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Neck and back pain

Home Injuries

Home is supposed to be your safe place, but no place is free of accidents. Whether it’s a DIY project gone wrong, or simply a case of improperly lifting something, home injuries can be very serious indeed.

Common home injuries are slip and fall injuries resulting in damage to the:

• Back
• Shoulders
• Knees
• Elbows
